Starting point is 00:01:04 It's the Spitballers Podcast podcast with andy mike and jason i'm so happy right now you were starting cars i thought he oh right was trying to talk about ricotta cheese but he just like couldn't remember what it was called. I thought he was family guy. The Giggity's from Family Guy. For those who don't know what just happened. What happened? That is our other producer that is producer Judge Giamatti. Al Borland is down with the flu. Yeah, he's sick.
Starting point is 00:01:40 He keeps saying that. We are insisting that he's just being real lazy. He is so lazy. So lazy. When I think of lazy people that I know, first one that comes to mind is Al Borland. None lazier. Honestly, the only person that comes to mind. Right?
Starting point is 00:01:54 I don't even know what it is apart from Al Borland. Get better, Al, if you're really sick. Yeah, wink. Judge Giamatti in charge today. Hello, spit wads. Yeah, wink. Judge Giamatti in charge today. Hello, Spitwads. There he is. That was my inspiration. It was Andy Bernard from The Office there.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Oh! Very nice. He's got the irrigate going. All right. You know what? You held it down. This is the second time I've got to skip a scat. I am.

I am. Out of the blue. I didn't even realize it moments before. Insanely jealous. Yeah, Jason actually wants to skip scats. We've never had him skip a scat. The next one, when it's my turn, you're going to hear the whole intro, and then we're going to talk. And you're going to be like, where was the scat? I did it.

Starting point is 00:03:24 I know what we do have, guys. We have an update. Wait. Bob Lothor is at it again. Oh, did you tap the... I did not touch him. He's just going. So there's Bob Lothor you can see on YouTube.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Go, Bob Lothor. He's been known to go for hours. It's unbelievable. Tips don't lie. No. What else is going on? Jason, we need the running update. You said on the last episode, and I just listened to this because I just got back into town.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Our family was on a little vacation, and I listened to last week's episode, and it was very funny. Jason, you talked about the fact that you are now moving towards thinking about running. It was like considering thinking about running. But then you guaranteed that you would run by the time the next Spitballers episode, and then you spent most of the week asking us to not do any more episodes. Right. But then what happened? Then here we are.
Starting point is 00:04:18 And the update is I ran. I ran. I put my sneakers on, and I went out and found a path and started the, I mean, I ran. Now, we talked about jogging versus running last week. So what was this? This was 0% running. Okay. This was jogs and walks.
Starting point is 00:04:39 But I went two miles. I'm very interested in this. You traveled two miles. 2.02. No Ubering. That's correct. I traveled 2.02 miles in an Uber. went two miles i'm very interested in this you traveled two miles two point no ubering that's correct i traveled 2.02 miles in an uber but you're saying like i found a path yes dude i'm like i want you to elaborate this because yeah let's hear more about whenever i've gone running i've gone outside of my house and gone which direction do i go this way that way i don't say oh i found a path so in my neighborhood apparently if you were to go
Starting point is 00:05:06 right um at the end of that street is uh is like an actual running path an actual running path and the path takes you like down under the freeway it's unbelievable it's right in my backyard people do this people oh there were so many people on that path exercising. It was disgusting. Do you high five each other as you run by? No, but you do the nod. Did you start doing the jog? I'm one of you. Did you start doing the jog that I do when I'm seen? So here's the funniest part.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Go from the walk to the run? I'm using an app, and the app is like the couch to 5K or something. So it starts really easy. It's 30 minutes, and it's basically what it is is it's 60 seconds of running and then 90 seconds of a brisk walk so that's and then it tells you it says okay now run and you run for 60 seconds and then it says okay now briskly walk or whatever and so i am off in the distance there's a bench and a guy with a bicycle is sitting there oh what a quitter and i'm sitting there going oh no what if i'm in the walk like oh what if i'm running up to that area and it's like
Starting point is 00:06:14 now walk and i'm like well i don't want to walk in front of this guy so you would be embarrassed to walk by the sitter well yeah he's sitting down it's but he's a human and he's gonna still judge me yeah that's the whole point to this whole there was also another worry later on down the road i'm getting about to the halfway point where i need to turn around and there is a we'll say very elderly woman walking and i didn't want to pass her in a jog and then just start walking past you and well she was walking very fast she was a fast one shout out to my my lady shirley i'm guessing um that uh i didn't i didn't want she was a fast walker um but i didn't want to like jog past her and then be like now walk and then just walk right in front of her.
Starting point is 00:07:05 So I turned around. Like break checking someone? Yeah. But I did it. I sweat. Is this a 5K guarantee on the way? Is that what I, if you've got this app out there. I will do a 5K. There's no.
Starting point is 00:07:21 I did not say participate. All right. I will do one. I will find a way to, I will put one on for people. I will say this. I had a time where... He's going to. He would rather form an organization and sponsor and create an entire 5K race than run in one.
Starting point is 00:07:35 Well, if I promise I'm doing a 5K, there's better odds of that. There's an app. I've used it before where it's a running. It's a similar thing. It's a zero. You can do a zero to 5K or whatever, but it's a game. It's a game that they set up where you are in a zombie apocalypse, and you're out running, and you collect supplies.
Starting point is 00:07:55 By the further that you run, you collect more supplies, and then they randomly have it. You're under attack from a zombie, so you have to run. Oh, and it tells the speed you're going? Yeah. It uses the GPS to track all this stuff, and there's a fully narrated story. Why didn't you tell me this? Because I didn't believe you would actually go for a run, so I was saving it.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Okay, well, I need that info because... You'd run faster if zombies were after you. I would definitely 100% run faster if I was going to have my brains eaten. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's... All right. Hold on, zombie.
Starting point is 00:08:29 I'm in my 60-second walk period. Well, that's what's funny is I was very dedicated to those announcements of walk and run. I could have just kept jogging past the bicycle guy, but it says walk. It says walk. I'm going to walk. Did you point to your headphones it's no but i'm following instructions i did look at my watch so much every time that i every time i transitioned i was like looking at the watch and i'd touch it i'd be like yes uh i
Starting point is 00:08:56 don't need to touch this but i want everybody looking to know you needed to put the fingers up for a pulse check yeah like as as you're passing and looking at the watch yes oh because then you have exerted yourself beyond what your body is supposed to do. Look, throw some references out there like, oh boy, that sunrise was so pretty this morning, wasn't it? All pro tips. That's how long I've been out here. All pro tips are welcome.
Starting point is 00:09:16 I don't know if I'll run again. If you're going to be like 10 miles back there, be careful. Yeah, there's a rattler on the path. 10 miles back. All right, we're moving on. Would you rather? Daniel from the website submitted this question. He said, would you rather have dirty teeth with fresh breath or clean teeth with that mouth stank?
Starting point is 00:09:48 Thank you for defining it as that mouth stank thank you for defining as that mouth stank yeah that's what he said so no question yeah now if i have dirty teeth is this so is this practical like oh no i'm gonna get uh cavities they could hurt or does this also have to mean i also have yellow nasty looking teeth i'm going with yellow, nasty-looking teeth. Yeah. But dental hygiene for both is still pristine. Oh, so I don't have cavities in either. No, it's not a factor. This is just...
Starting point is 00:10:15 This is look versus smell. Yes. Yes. Wow. And here's what I'm curious about. Is it worse to see a person with yellow teeth, like really nasty yellow teeth, or worse to see a person that has a bunch of food stuck in their teeth? Because in one instance, you're looking at a person that can fix a problem.
Starting point is 00:10:33 In the other, you're looking at a person that has clearly let their teeth get to some pirate state. I mean, you just answered the question. The worst thing is the nasty, rotted teeth. What kind of person are you do you tell someone they have food in their teeth i'm that kind of yeah i tell them well i guess not a random stranger maybe not okay that's what i was going to say what what any friend level what level of friendship so acquaintance you know mike i you're putting me to the test here because i thought i would tell people in all instances but if it's a small enough piece i've definitely gone the route of they'll figure it out you're at church yeah someone walks up oh no you're right
Starting point is 00:11:15 i'm not saying and you go and you don't remember their name oh and but then eventually oh yeah this is bob bob's got just a whole celery stalk between his two front teeth. I feel like this is the same. You're letting him live that way? This is the same rule as the fly is down. Like, if Bob's fly is down, I'm not telling him there either. I feel like. But are you telling your wife?
Starting point is 00:11:40 Or like, that Bob's fly is down? Check it out. Maybe. look at his teeth they're disgusting hey bob how's it going nice to see you it well it's all about how casually can you say something like that and it feels like the fly one is much more difficult than the piece of you know parsley in the teeth or something what you're afraid they say what were you staring i just i just feel like i would stare at my crotch i would have to like do a symbol of him zipping up the fly and be like the old whistle yeah just some sort of like little hey bob bad breath would be so intimidating for any conversation if you know that it's unavoidable
Starting point is 00:12:23 you will have to awkwardly stand you will have to move away from the close talker you will have to talk in the opposite direction you talk away from where they're looking and you're kind of like blowing it out of your side of your mouth um but the tea i mean the dirty tea that's that's a very self-conscious thing too both of these stink well one of them i think i would so reading this i i was sure that i was taking the uh the fresh breath with dirty teeth but if you're if you're telling me that it's just basically like it looks just like rotten teeth i think that you would i think i would be judged more based on rot because like if i've got bad breath everyone from time to time has bad breath you you ate something bad or you know it's like oh this guy doesn't normally have bad breath but he's it's a bad day he ate a poop
Starting point is 00:13:21 sandwich for lunch i don't know i don't know what he did but i was gonna go like cilantro but it smells like it um but i think if you see someone whose teeth are just wrecked there's like oh this dude has more serious hygiene problems so i'm gonna go with the bad breath and the and the pearly whites. Yeah, I lean that way too. I'm going to open up a can. I probably will regret opening up here. Can't wait.
Starting point is 00:13:58 But do you ever run into that situation where somebody's got like the very, very correctable overt physical situation and you just kind of wonder why. Are you talking about my weight no dude diet no i'm talking about like the canada-sized mole right the big hairy face mole yes that you're like you understand that look we have it's 2020 we have the technology to very cleanly and quickly and affordably. We've had tweezers for a very long time as well. Well, you're not tweezing a mole off your face. No, but you said it was hairy. That's true.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Good point, Mike. You could step one is pull the hair out of it. That's different. Step two is remove the giant Canada-sized mole. But maybe it's something like that or really. But that's not as easy as you think. I mean, we all know what it's like to go with a dermatologist. And if you're going to get a mole removed, okay, I have to, A, find a dermatologist, which is a ridiculous thing.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Then I have to go schedule an appointment just so they can look at it and schedule another appointment to cut something off my face. You've had 48 years to do that. It's not as easy. Do you get to the point where you are moving on from caring? Is that just what's happened? It depends on the status of your marriage. You know what I mean? But if you're married, then you've already...
Starting point is 00:15:17 Exactly. The moles can stay. But if I'm single... Do moles keep getting bigger? If they do, that's when you're supposed to go to the dermatologist. Please go get it removed if it is changing shapes or colors. PSA. Look, you learn a lot here on this show. Life advice.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Yeah, I guess I'm always kind of... And it feels like a really judgy thing to say. To be like, why... To be thinking, why don't you get that removed? Perhaps they love their mole no let's get out of here nobody's like i love this thing do you think they name what it was like name them didn't marilyn monroe like she has well okay there's like a beauty crawford had a mole you what beauty the difference between a beauty mark and a mole is diameter you calling
Starting point is 00:16:02 it a beauty no no it's diameter if you've got a tiny little thing what's the beauty mark give me the measurement was two millimeters or if it's and under is all right yes if it's over two millimeters in diameter then nobody's gonna be like look at my beauty mark it's also a matter of like what else is distracting from that beauty mark mole like do you need would this really aid your physical appearance to remove that wart please forgive my naivety here okay but if i were to remove a large size mole on my face i imagine that leaves a scar yes so does it yes they can't just uh freeze freeze them off i don't think so. Bing, bang, boom? I think that's going to leave a scar.
Starting point is 00:16:47 So it's like... A wart, you can freeze off. What's better? A mole, I don't think you can freeze off. What's better, a scar or a hairy mole? Like a natural mole or a scar? I don't know, but my point is... It does depend, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:57 The point is, maybe someone would be like, I don't want to go through the process that might just outlay maybe the fear of pain of removing it, only to still have a mark on your face. You've had them all removed, right? Oh, mercy me. We can move on. We can move on.
Starting point is 00:17:14 It's from a place that no one would have asked you to remove it. Well, maybe one person. The thunder from down under. All right. Is no longer there. Is no longer there. I'm proud to report. All right. I's no longer there. It's no longer there. I'm proud to report. All right.
Starting point is 00:17:26 I will move on. Hobocop from Patreon. Okay. A Spitwad supporter writes in this, would you rather question, would you rather every time you blink, lose your sight for three seconds, or every time you scratch and itch, you become paralyzed for five seconds? So obviously- becoming paralyzed is much more severe than a blip of basically closing your eyes for three seconds. But maybe.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Definitely. Well, I don't have to scratch and itch. That's the point. I can be. If I'm driving, I feel like the blinking one is worse if you're driving you gotta like put on those goggles to hold your eyelids open gonna go clockwork orange hold them open if society had this problem you would have devices that would just moisturize your eyes for you so you don't have to go blind or or what you would do is
Starting point is 00:18:23 you'd get up you'd like quickly get to that red light and then you'd be like, oh, thank goodness I can blink. And then it's like a staring contest while you're going, like who's going to blink first, you or are you going to get to that light? Does the timer reset? Can you get a bunch of blinks in or are you stacking up moments of blindness? I think it's stacking up upon itself. Oh, so if I do like five blinks, I got 15 seconds to wait?
Starting point is 00:18:46 That is correct. Okay, that makes sense. Well, then I'm definitely taking the paralyzation. Or at least resets the timer. Yeah, but if you scratch that itch twice, what is a real bad itch? You normally need a few scratches. You're going to be paralyzed for like 15 seconds. I feel like this needs to be like, or paralyzed for five minutes.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Because when's the last time you've scratched an itch? Genuinely. All the time no i'm not saying that like oh i'm scratching right now in years once you say that when's the last time i'm like oh that's itchy yeah but when's the last time you blinked because it was a couple seconds never so theoretically you might have to scratch your eye oh then you have two problems then you're paralyzed and blind. It's a problem. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:27 It has to be the itch. Yeah. Because. That's why he wants to make it more than five seconds. You got to build up your mental toughness. No, I think he's right. Have you ever tried to itch a spot with your brain? What? You've never tried to do that?
Starting point is 00:19:38 What does that even mean? That means like you have. First of all, you meant scratch, right? Or do you mean itch? I mean like you have something on your arm where it's itchy. I am itching all over now. Right now, I can feel every ounce of my skin is itchy. I meant scratch, but I'm saying where you have...
Starting point is 00:19:53 You're trying to conquer the itch. Yes, you have an uncontrollable itch on your leg, and you're like, I'm not going to scratch this. I'm not going to do it. I'm going to take care of it with mental fortitude. Let's say you make this five minutes. I feel like I could go the rest of my life never scratching well i could make that decision like i don't have to scratch the mosquitoes get you oh the mosquito would be a big problem not itching or not scratching a mosquito bite there's no mental fortitude in the world yeah that's uh
Starting point is 00:20:22 you ever did the allergy testing? Yes. Were they... Oh. Do you know what I'm talking about, Jason? No, of course. I know what you're talking about. Have you ever been tortured? But I'm... For science.
Starting point is 00:20:32 You inferior humans with your allergies. Well, having... Believe it or not, anybody can get the test. You don't even have to have allergies. Yeah, but why would you? Like... Good point. I'm not allergic to anything.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Will you want to scratch my back and put a bunch of chemicals on me? But they basically just poke a bunch of holes in your back, teeny little marks, and then they put a little bit of everything, a plant or whatever. I don't know how they put it. Grass, cats. They rub a cat on your back.
Starting point is 00:20:56 But then you're not allowed to scratch it. And I just remember as a kid getting that done and my mom would like, you could use a magazine to waft air to try to make those itches go away, but that would be- I feel like that would make it more intensified. Anything but sitting in it makes it better. Like if you are itchy right now, you are better off running around than you are standing there itchy.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Sure. To distract you. I can't believe that's how we figure things out. Do we still do that? Yeah. Oh, yeah. The scratch test is still alive and active. And they haven't improved upon that?
Starting point is 00:21:29 Then they put the leeches on. You know, you bring up a good point. We've been to the moon. Yeah. You bring up a good point. It's like, hey, child, here's what we're going to do. Poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke. I'm going to poke you 40 times, and then I'm just going to pour liquid that you're allergic to.
Starting point is 00:21:45 It's like when I was first learning math, and the trial and error process was just like, I'll find the answer by getting it wrong 100 times until it works. I don't understand how to do this equation, but I'll just keep like, no, it's not that. Right. It's not that. There's got to be a better way. Take a vial of my blood. Go test it.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Tell me what I'm allergic to, as opposed to, well, let's try this. Let's see if you're allergic to cactus. Give me a cactus. I mean, that's what it feels like. You can do this test at home. That's actually exactly what the allergies sound like. That's the weird thing. You can do this test at home.
Starting point is 00:22:24 All right, partner, we'll going to get this figured out. You don't need a pulmonologist. They want to hunt rabbits. Like, is he allergic to cats? Yeah, I got a cat. Come here, you host fat. And then you just rub the cat all over it, and you say, give it 15 seconds. Now, tell me, when I poke you with this needle, does it hurt?
Starting point is 00:22:42 You are not allergic to hypodermic needles. Hey, this one's sharp. N. Hey, this one's sharp. Nelda, this one's sharp. Why are we all Yosemite sand? I don't know. Get your host of fat in here. Let's see how you react to poison. Oh, turns out you're allergic to poison.
Starting point is 00:22:59 You should get that checked. You should get that checked. You got another one allergic to poison. It'll be $50. You never believe this. 100% of people allergic to poison. I'm getting fat, bud. So far, we keep testing. Everybody says, I don't have
Starting point is 00:23:16 allergies. I say, take this poison. You allergic to poison? You sure are. It is really sad to know that every 50 years that goes by, you're going to look back to the science of 50 years before like we were dumb. Every now and then I think, like, what are the things that are going on right now? Yes, there are dumb things we're doing right now. They're called allergy tests because they figured this out in 1870.
Starting point is 00:23:42 They said, this is good enough. We will not improve. It worked for Pat. It worked for me. You allergic to a rattlesnake? Hold your arm out. Yeah, looks like there's a reaction there. Does he pull a whip out?
Starting point is 00:24:02 That was the snake. The snake was viciously attacking. Oh, my goodness. All right. I don't think we need to answer anymore. Paralyzed. Not good. Yeah, I'll take that.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Would you rather? I'll take the blinking. All right. We have three segments. That means I'm moving on. That's a great question. Matt from the website, you can no longer see one color for the rest of your life.
Starting point is 00:24:34 What color do you choose? Oh, can no longer see. So you are eliminating one color from your vision forever. This reminds me of when you run out of one of the three vials of ink in your printer ah it affects all the other things you print right can we take one second to just shame printer manufacturers everywhere because when i'm out of color and you won't let me print in black and white and i've got there's plenty of black ink but i'm out of cyan and they're like and i'm just printing black and white and i click the black and white button and it's like no not
Starting point is 00:25:11 until you replace the blue i'm like no i don't get here's an idea we gonna get rid of all the imprinting if you run out of blue i mean that's that's... There's a snake back for some reason. No, that's a fair shame. That's very fair. That should be illegal. Yeah, and they wipe the tears of shame from their face with their $100 bills. So if I have to eliminate... So sorry, Jason.
Starting point is 00:25:39 If I have to eliminate one color, obviously you got to eliminate all the implications, right? You've got no blue. You're not going to get any purple stuff either, right? I don't think you want to go that the implications, right? You've got no blue. You're not going to get any purple stuff either. I don't think you want to go that far. Not that far. Okay. So you're just eliminating. What's a color you don't like?
Starting point is 00:25:52 Yellow. Yellow is kind of nasty. Well, I feel like if I eliminated yellow, I would always believe I'm healthier. Because you know what I mean? I want to know why. Well, when you look at your urine. A pee problem? Well, I'm just saying if it's really yellow, I think, oh, I need to drink more water.
Starting point is 00:26:07 I'm dehydrated. So you'd like to be deceived? I would like to believe in myself. Usually when your pee's that yellow, there's another spider sense tingling in your nostrils saying there's a problem here. That's true. Oh, where's... Honey, go smell this.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Is it poison? Am I peeing poison? What? It's true. Oh, where's... Honey, go steal this. This is poison. Am I being poisoned? What? It's back. It's not going away. It's not going away. That tangles the nostrils. Tangles?
Starting point is 00:26:34 It tangles them. Oh, my goodness. If you can't... Okay. Well, before I ask this question... These guys are allergic to grizzly bears. What color is the sun? Yellow.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Okay, because that's what I think of, too. So if you say, I can't see yellow anymore, now what does the sun look like? Just so you know, I don't stare at the sun. I don't ever look at it. The color of the sun doesn't affect me as much as how it lights things up. Right. Just saying. This is a weird question, because just eliminating one color.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Yellow was my initial thought If I can't see yellow anymore Then that happens Now it does say you will no longer see one color Does that mean those things become invisible? That's true I am just curious about that That's basically what I was asking
Starting point is 00:27:21 And also I wouldn't want to eliminate anything In the traffic light category, right? Because that could be a problem. It basically has to go grayscale. I think that's what has to happen. Okay. That's all I mean. It can be brighter or darker.
Starting point is 00:27:36 I think the world would... I already don't see color, Mike. I think that the world would almost unanimously remove yellow. I think it's the most hated color. I enjoy it. Is that because of the flavors? No, it's everything that's yellow is a crappy flavor. That's not true.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Banana is a great flavor. I'm just thinking of lemons are great. No, it's because of Pete. It's 100% because of Pete. Don't eat the yellow snow. That's Pete. Yellow is bad because of Pete. That's eat the yellow snow. That's Pete. Yellow is bad because of Pete. That's 100% true.
Starting point is 00:28:09 The only two colors you're going to eliminate are yellow and brown, and you know why. I mean, let's be honest. All right. Yeah, because grayscale poop. What color is this in the toilet? The toilet? I like how much you like yourself i really enjoy it i'm real
Starting point is 00:28:29 well listen the rest of the show you should you should read this next great question it comes in from abigail so it might as well be in that voice oh from abigail on the website if you could arrange for any living person in the world to hear a full episode of Spitballers Podcast, who would it be and why? Okay. Why didn't you turn into Harry Caray at the end? Yes. That doesn't make sense. One living person to hear a full episode of the show.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Okay. That's an interesting question because there's a lot of different ways you could go. What popped into your head first? Because there were two things for whatever reason it was the queen and the pope wow i don't know why i would not want the pope to listen to an entire episode of the spin ballers but it's almost like i just want to see what would happen does the is the pope allowed to laugh or does he just like move his shoulders his shoulders move up up and down. I'm pretty sure the Pope's job is not to just be not enjoying things. I'm amused.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Why is he moving his shoulders like that? Because he's holding the laugh back. You think he would laugh at us? His shoulders would move at least a little bit. You ever drink? Hey, Pope. You ever drink, Pope? Of course he'd laugh at us.
Starting point is 00:29:45 I don't know why the Queen and the Pope popped into my head first. It's like two names. Queen? I don't know why. Because I'm thinking of our show as, believe it or not. No. This is going to be hard to hear for both of you. All right.
Starting point is 00:29:57 As slightly, kind of, sort of. Careful. Careful. Elementary. I accept. Careful. Careful. Elementary. I accept. Yeah. Okay. Childish?
Starting point is 00:30:10 Okay. So then I'm trying to think of the most opposite to that to see if I can make that person laugh. Okay. I was going to say it so that you feel like if you make the queen break. Oh, wow. If the queen approves this podcast podcast we're getting at least 50 more listeners if we could get the entire queen's guard or two less because the royal family's getting smaller if you got the queen's guard to have airpods and they all had to listen to this episode and never once break you know the queen's guards the ones who can't move i think those are
Starting point is 00:30:39 the ones that are not allowed to move or laugh or break or anything you can go right up and yeah they're nutcrackers yeah you can lick their face and they just they're i don't think you can lick their face i think they're watch watch me i think if you physically touch them they're allowed to fight back that's fair that's fair i haven't tried it yet uh i don't recommend it but um he would sit there and he'd be like i'm gonna lick your face i'm gonna lick your face right now The first two things that came to mind For me You want all them nutcrackers? I want that guy to listen to the podcast
Starting point is 00:31:14 He'd love it Yosemite Sam So like I think to myself I want like the dude perfect guys To listen Just so we can become best friends. Yes. Those guys are awesome.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Let's do a home and home. We'll go on your show. You come on our show. Same benefit. Even Swapski. We have a 12 in our listenership, too. That's right. Like a dozen to 12 million.
Starting point is 00:31:43 I think you should make an official offer. I think that's a fair offer. To Mr. Dude? We give you permission to listen. It's Mr. Perfect. Oh. Mr. Perfect's a wrestler. I'm perfect. Only you know that, Mike. Or Lorne Michaels also comes to mind. Hey, Lorne. You out there? Alright.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Alright. Do you have anybody that pops into your head, Mike? Just like the weird thing that you had of trying to make the queen laugh. Yeah. I was like, I think we can make Elon Musk laugh. Oh, I don't want to watch him laugh. I feel like that would be like a disturbing. What would his laugh sound like?
Starting point is 00:32:17 What does a robot look like? You haven't heard his laugh? No. Oh, it's got to be nerdy. It's a real nerdy laugh. I saw a GIF of him dancing the other day. It was real special. The laugh is better than the dance.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Possible not to be. Life advice? All right. It's been a while. Spitballers to the rescue. I almost jumped in there. I forgot that it that he says dustin from twitter when the waitress asks the question is this together or separate
Starting point is 00:32:53 what is the standard protocol who speaks first is it who invited who or the oldest or the most people in the party or what? What is the protocol? Okay. I see what's going on here. I feel like it's usually the one in charge. And by that, I mean, you know what I'm talking about. You're at dinner and there's the one that's in charge. And maybe there's two ones in charge.
Starting point is 00:33:22 That's what I think what he's asking for. Because sometimes you have the two people. Because by in charge, you mean just the one driving the conversation? I think it's beyond that. You're jockeying for a position of this class warfare at the restaurant? I think it would be zombie apocalypse comes, who's our leader? Okay. The same exact, these are mirror questions of who decides who's going to split the check.
Starting point is 00:33:57 But now I have a question for you. Okay. Let's say you are following said leader. We'll just call him Rick Grimes for now because you brought up the zombie apocalypse. You're at dinner with Rick Grimes. He is this leader that you're talking about and of, of the dinner,
Starting point is 00:34:11 the check comes out and Rick Grimes says, Oh no, we're going to split. Yeah. Now what's your opinion of Mr. Rick Grimes? Cause it's no longer favorable. You trust your leader.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Yeah. Then we split. That's my point. Here's what I, he doesn't pick it up we split so mike mike's version of a leader is somebody who pays the bill you're darn right so you need them to pay for you here's what i'm curious about though you want to lead i really want to know the protocol here because i feel a when i go out with a group even if we are going to split the bill, I feel this sense of obligation. I'd like to make it as easy as possible on the waiter or waitress.
Starting point is 00:34:53 So I prefer to just one person pays the bill. Everybody else can sort it out later. Interesting. Because when I go out with certain people, we just sell each other money or the cash app or whatever. And then, you know. I mean, the real solution to this problem is. Because people sit all over the place when you split up parties.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Yes. I mean, that can be an issue. But I feel like usually this is just preparation. This is you sit down when you order and you say, we're on two separate tickets. Let's put our order in first. Then it's easier for the wait staff. Still a little more work. Then having to do.
Starting point is 00:35:31 What's easier, one order or two orders? One ticket or two tickets? For me? No, not for you. For them. It's the same amount of ease. For them. Jason's order is two orders.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Right? He always gets two tickets. Mason's order is two orders. Right? He always gets two tickets. So I, yeah, I'm going to say that you should say up front, whether it's together or separate. And if you don't establish that,
Starting point is 00:36:00 the person who would lead you in an apocalypse makes the decision. And whatever they say goes, period. All right. I'm going to just go with that advice there. I'm going to move on to another question. You guys don't see it because it's very timely, and I need to know the answer to this. Oh. Because you guys might have seen the video,
Starting point is 00:36:16 and I was really surprised that it was dividing the internet. Oh, my goodness. And I'm curious. If it is what you're talking about i don't so there's a video out there right now of a gentleman who is sitting in the back dare you call him a gentleman i agree with you oh i know the video there is a man who is sitting at the back of a plane his seat does not recline the woman in front of him has chosen to recline her seat he has chosen to repay her her seat. He has chosen to
Starting point is 00:36:45 repay her by punching the back of her seat over and over and over again. And over and over and over. Now, clearly, we would all agree, based especially on Mike's reply there, that this man was in the wrong because he was acting like a child. He was abusing this woman's right to her seat in space, and it was ridiculous. And obviously, a lot of people have come out and said like look if this is a 250 pound man in front of him there's no way he's doing this because this guy's going to get up and punch him in the face 100 so he's a beaut you know i think we all agree that that man in that instance is in the wrong but if you read people's comments reddit twitter everywhere else not defending him But the debate is whether it is actually allowed to ever recline a seat ever in an airplane. And the majority opinion that I've read is that it is rude.
Starting point is 00:37:32 It is considered rude. And you should never, ever recline your seat ever. The vocal minority. And it was shocking to me because I didn't know this. The vocal minority on this topic was unbelievable. When I saw it and I looked at her post and the first like 50 responses were just lambasting her for reclining into his space. And I'm like, re. So I don't. What?
Starting point is 00:37:56 I don't even. I don't want to like try him and her. I just want to ask the question of actual plane etiquette. I just want to ask the question of actual plane etiquette because a lot of people that fly a lot, they say it is rude to recline at all or they say it is rude to recline if your flight is under four hours. So basically, because you can't – and there are products out there that you can buy. Yes, I've seen those. That you can hook onto the tray that will stop the seat from moving backwards. So you're saying you can buy a product that stops the seat from doing what it was designed to do.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Now, that would be one person's opinion, that it is designed to recline. Therefore, it is your right to recline. That's how I've always approached it. If someone in front of me is reclined, I have never once thought they're evil because I'm like, I might think to myself, that sucks because I'm tall. But there are people out there that think, and I would say it's the majority, believe that it is rude to recline at all. It should not be an option on an airplane.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Obviously, we know plane space is minute. You have no room. People need to move around. Deep vein thrombosis could get you. So what do you think? What is the right life advice etiquette? If you're on a plane- Are you allowed to recline? Are you allowed to recline?
Starting point is 00:39:08 100% you are allowed to recline. And this is coming from, I'm not a- You're a tall man. I consider myself slightly above, what's the average height? Average height is actually short. Is it 5'9 or 5'10? I think it's 5'9. So the average height of a man...
Starting point is 00:39:27 Oh, this can't be right. 5'6". No. That's bad information. Great. Even better for my argument. Sorry. 5'9". In America. That sounds about right. I guess that would make me tall, because
Starting point is 00:39:41 I'm 6' tall. You are way taller than six feet. I'm almost six feet, but I say six feet because I'm not one of the guys. I don't round up. I'm 5'11 1⁄2", and you're two inches taller than me. Okay. You're 6'2". Back to the argument is I'm tall.
Starting point is 00:39:59 Sitting in an airplane, it sucks. It's uncomfortable. If someone reclines in front of me that is 100 what they are allowed to do i don't get upset with them i recline my seat but that's what i do but then the question becomes in the back row guess what person you should have bought your ticket earlier you should have got to the airport earlier don't get mad because you were the procrastinator now some of the maybe there's things out of your control that you had to get a last second flight mike you had to do it
Starting point is 00:40:30 i i just don't think i've ever heard you speak wiser or more truth into this is fantastic than this because that's that person's fault yes you you got the crappiest seat well as far as i'm concerned if they're if the plane puts a button button in your armrest to allow you to do something with your seat, it is within your rights. Now, if you want to be considered... Are you allowed to go to the bathroom on a plane? It might smell bad. Do they have bathrooms on the plane? Yes, I'm allowed to use it.
Starting point is 00:41:01 If the button is there... No, no two skis on the plane. This can be a very golden rule situation right if you don't want people to recline on you you can choose not to recline out of consideration that's very kind of you i hope you sit in front of me exactly now now there are people you could also be polite and ask somebody like hey i would you mind moving it up you could ask i mean that you can do that there was somebody that i read that every time the person in front of them reclines their seat, they aim their air on the top of their head.
Starting point is 00:41:31 And I would say, thank you. Thank you for making my flight even better. I guess some people don't like that. And so when the person finally says, don't do that, they're like, well, I will trade you not aiming it at you for moving your seat back up. Honestly, people are not great. People are very strange. The time where I will be considerate of thinking about the person behind me when it comes to
Starting point is 00:41:53 reclining is if there's an actual food service. Oh, for sure. I'm not talking about they've come through with the sodas and the peanuts, but if there's an actual meal, and I don't even know if we really do that anymore, but if there is a meal time that's happening for everybody, I will move my chair up. I feel like that should be an announcement on the plane. Yes. Like, please raise your chairs up for meal service. Just to be fair, the logic you applied to being able to recline your seat applies equally for meal service.
Starting point is 00:42:24 You have the ability and capability. And I'm just saying that's when I will take it into account. But if the person in front of me keeps their chair reclined the entire time. Even during the meal service? Yeah. Then that's their right to do that. You don't punch their seat over and over again forever? How could you not do that?
Starting point is 00:42:38 No, because I'm not five years old. Yeah. I luckily, maybe where I was looking, I didn't find people defending his actions. I saw people saying, yeah, she's not being considerate, but not that she deserved to have her seat punched. Oh, I saw so many people say he was doing the right thing. It's sweeping the internet. I can't fathom that anyone is on that side. It's unbelievable, but they're out there.
Starting point is 00:43:01 All right. They're just not spit wads. Yeah. Yeah. All all right moving on the spitballers draft all right we've done one of these style drafts before it was a whole lot of fun we did uh nfl mascot battle royale so we were drafting nfl teams by their mascot we each get four picks we're thrown into a coliseum man this coliseum is getting a lot of work yeah right but we should just buy it great staff yeah we shouldn't be renting i don't know why we're renting this
Starting point is 00:43:36 point that's embarrassing it's expensive though to buy a coliseum to be honest uh maybe we can get some of that dude perfect money we can get a coliseum, to be honest. Maybe we can get some of that Dude Perfect money and we can get a Coliseum. Mr. Dude. But we're doing NBA mascot Battle Royale. You can pick from every NBA team. Like the Jazz. You can go with the Jazz. I did get a quartet my last time
Starting point is 00:43:57 around with the Bills. Now, I've decided not to really think much about this draft, even though I have the first pick. Perfect. Because I would like to let it come to me. This Battle Royale situation, I'm fighting Mike, I'm fighting Jason. I need to be able to react to the picks that you make
Starting point is 00:44:13 and counter them. Good luck reacting to the pick I have not made. Now, there are several that I would think about for the first pick in the draft. There's only one I get to select. And I'm going to go with the Washington Wizards. I'm going to take Magic
Starting point is 00:44:29 because I know how important these Coliseums and Magic seem to be. I'm going to have a team of Wizards because it's plural. I get several Wizards. And they're going to be my front line in this battle. I assumed that that would be my pick.
Starting point is 00:44:46 Because I thought that while that is a good pick, I didn't think that either of you would want that as tops. I have it very high on my list. But it wasn't, in fact, my number one pick. So I assumed it would be my third. But I do believe that it is the best pick. Because who's top of the food chain mike in what in right earth earth humans correct why because we have weapons because they're not wizards weapons uh what's better a gun or a wand i mean if it was real honestly
Starting point is 00:45:21 a wand i think it's a wand sure but my point is if you've got a team. I think it's a wand. Sure, but my point is, if you've got a team of wizards. It's a wand. Yeah. So I'm going with the wizards. Maybe. I understand. Look, there are a lot of different teams. There are a lot of different ideas and concepts.
Starting point is 00:45:35 I'm looking forward to the arguments behind your picks, but I think my argument is very simple. It is. I have a team of wizards with magical powers. Go on. It is outstanding. Now, they used to be. Jason, you brought. It is outstanding. Now, they used to be. Jason, you brought up the guns.
Starting point is 00:45:47 I mean, they used to be the Washington Bullets. Yes, and they upgraded. So they pivoted to the wizards. All right. Well, my first pick will be full of clever girls. Hmm. I thought that would, yeah. Because I will take the Toronto Raptors.
Starting point is 00:46:00 I like that pick. That was my number two. That was definitely my number two. You have a bunch of Raptors in the Coliseum. It seems very... I've seen enough Jurassic parks to know that the Toronto raptors would be apex predators if they were around today, even above human beings. I agree.
Starting point is 00:46:16 And that's why... Humans try to control them and they lose every time. My wizards would likely not try to destroy them, but rather cast a spell and ride them. That would be their plan. So you've got the Raptors as your first pick. I've got the Wizards. Jason, you're sitting there. You've got two picks that will both be not quite as good.
Starting point is 00:46:36 That's 100% true. I mean, that's the clear 101 and 102. Those are the picks. You could go. What is a Knickerbocker? I mean, you could go the New York Knicks. I always assumed knickerbockers were underpants. Those would be knickers.
Starting point is 00:46:50 I think that is correct. I have no idea. Close enough. Yeah. Those would be like your knickers. There are. Yeah, my knickerbockers. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:58 I'll take the Miami Heat. Listen, knickerbockers or knickers are a form of men's trousers. Yes. Wait a minute. Wait, then the New York knickerbockers or knickers are a form of men's trousers. Wait, then the New York knickerbockers are underwear? The New York undies. Now, wait. This website says that, and this website is the NBA.com.
Starting point is 00:47:16 Wait, the NBA.com? No, no, no. NBA.com. Okay. The term knickerbockers traces its origin to the Dutch settlers who came to the New World. Specifically, it refers to the style of pants they wore. Wow. So it is 100% exactly what you think.
Starting point is 00:47:34 When you're in a battle royale, you don't want to have your stuff hanging out. No. You got to cover up. So I'm tempted, but I think I might get that. You've got a twofer though, so you could take someone and then clothe them. You could go Knickerbockers and Jazz. Jazz sues the Savage Beast.
Starting point is 00:47:53 I don't know my second pick yet, but I know my first one. We've got Jay Grizz, who gets a lot of love around these parts. I thought this was going to be my pick. I was hoping that would be your pick so I could get the raptors, but I'm definitely going Memphis Grizzlies because some grizzly bears in there. Yep.
Starting point is 00:48:12 I mean, if you've got to fight some raptors and some wizards. Yeah, why not have a grizzly? I would like some grizzly bears, please. Okay. Now, here's where it gets. I'm taking the poison. I'll take the New York allergies. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:48:31 This gets really tough. It falls off a cliff from here. What? To me, it does. I've got two more that I really want, so I hope you don't take them. So I'm going to. All right. Let's hear it.
Starting point is 00:48:43 All right. I'm going to go a different direction. I'm going to. Before you let him say, I know, but I just want to say, like, I'm with you that there are some picks in here that my brain can justify this as this should have been the first pick taken overall. Right. Because if you really think about it, you're OP.
Starting point is 00:49:07 Yeah. But let's hear your pick. So this is weird, but I don't know how you're going to fight me. I know how I'm going to fight you. Yes. Yes. And I am taking the Oklahoma City Thunder. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:49:21 Not at all. Oh, crap. Oh, crap. That's not lightning lightning that is not lightning boom boom boom i'm gonna scare you with those loud cracks yeah you've got some you startle me if we have any babies or small animals... Why are they the thunder? Why are they the thunder? And why is Thor then the god of thunder?
Starting point is 00:49:50 That's a great question. That's so stupid. He controls the sound, but I see him with the lightning. So your brain associated Thor with thunder, so you thought you had lightning? Yes, I wanted to strike lightning down on you guys. You can't attack me. I can attack attack you but thunder is just the sound i am an idiot you realized it quick though i but i realized that after an official declaration of my draft pick and i knew you guys would not let me out of that that was the worst possible timing so you have the grizzlies and
Starting point is 00:50:22 then you also have some some thunder really loud noises you better get headphones for your own team man all right mike you're off to a good start all right leave all of those type of things for me then i will i will do that all right I don't know how I'm going to use this next teammate of mine, but the definition of... Uh-oh, that's a good start. Well, I just want to make sure that I'm doing a counter-argument before the argument comes. Webster's defines this as a good pick. No, it is a missile, spacecraft, aircraft, or other vehicle.
Starting point is 00:51:04 These are all the things that it could be. You're going with the rockets. I will take the Houston rockets. That was basically like my thunder pick. But a good one. Except like... Except I have missiles. Yeah, I was thinking lightning.
Starting point is 00:51:15 But the thing is, is once your missiles go, they're gone. You know what I mean? Like that's why I wanted the thunder. I didn't. I wanted lightning. Let me ask you this, Jason. If we're in a coliseum, how many missiles do you think I need? Well, there's some collateral damage issues that you could have.
Starting point is 00:51:31 As long as I have one other missile still alive, technically I win. So you're willing to take down everybody at the same time. This team is willing to do what it has to do. Victory at all costs. So your team is now the Raptors and the same time. This team is willing to do what it has to do. Victory at all costs. So your team is now the Raptors and the Rockets. Jason has the Thunder and the Grizzlies. I have the Wizards, and now I have two picks. Yes, that is correct.
Starting point is 00:51:56 Interesting. Interesting, interesting. I could blaze some trails. That's an option that I could do. I could make it generally warm in the Col an option. Spoiler. I could make it generally warm in the Coliseum. Multiple ways. You could take the heat or the suns. Yeah, the suns is
Starting point is 00:52:11 interesting because I feel like maybe does that mean I get... You'd just melt the whole Coliseum. Yeah, that's trouble. I'm going to go with the Warriors. I need some front line. The Wizards, let's be honest, they're not hand- warriors okay the warriors i need some frontline like the wizards let's be honest they're not hand to hand i need some meat shields for they need to take the
Starting point is 00:52:30 damage from the raptors while my wizards are casting spells but now i'm actually gonna go oh man oh that's right you get. I almost threw up my pick. You almost threw it out. You almost pulled the haul away. I am going to make a mistake. But I don't want you to have this pick. Oh. So I'm going to take it, and I'm going to give it to my Warriors. I'm taking the Orlando magic.
Starting point is 00:53:06 I'm giving the magic to the warriors. Now my wizards and my warriors, they both got magic. I would have taken the magic. That would have been my next pick. I'm worried about somebody countering my wizard. So I need the magic. I thought you were going to give your warriors nets. I thought about it.
Starting point is 00:53:22 I really did. I thought nets would come back to me in the last round, to be honest with you. I think it it. I really did. I thought nets would come back to me in the last round, to be honest with you. I think it will. They will. Okay, so I'm taking the magic because I don't want you guys to have anything to combat my wizards with. So I've got the wizards, the warriors, and the magic. We'll see how much
Starting point is 00:53:38 the people respect the magic attack. Usually they respect it a lot. Based on Elsa. The genie. Based on previous polls we've had. All right. So I have two picks that I'm weighing, and in my head I'm fighting them against each other. I'm running multiple scenarios, and I think at the end I just got to get the girth.
Starting point is 00:54:02 I got to get the weight, so I will take the bulls. That's a good pick. I wanted the magic or the girth. I got to get the weight, so I will take the bulls. That's a good pick. I wanted the magic or the bulls. Excellent. So Mike's team is just, I can just picture it in my mind. It's front line. Bulls are charging in. Raptors are leaping in, and rockets are flying at me.
Starting point is 00:54:18 Honestly, the rockets are just the backup plan. I'm going to go three team, and then if my three teams don't get it done... You send one rocket in. Well, you need a king then. You need a king standing in the background, and he says, fire the rockets, and then the guy looks at him and goes, but our men are out there. I said, fire the rockets. That's not a bad thought.
Starting point is 00:54:42 Now, that being said, if I was going to try to prevent fire all of them if i was going to try to prevent a rocket attack from killing me you want to know what i would want uh missile defense some magic oh shields yes um but i don't have it i don't have the magic or the wizards you You were in some trouble because you got two picks, right? Yeah, I got two bad picks coming. So I'm just going to have fun here. I know how badly Mike hates this. And as the leader of his team, I want to instill terror and horror into your life. So I am taking the Hornets. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:22 I will take the New Orleans Hornets. life so i am taking the hornets yeah i will take the new orleans hornets they might not win the fight but they will cause mayhem everywhere that's a lot of you know who the hornets will be a problem for the warriors yes yes the war my bulls and raptors will be mostly okay yeah but the warriors are going down to the hornets they're just running running. They're gone now. Bulls, Raptors, Warriors, they all got eyeballs. And those Hornets, they shoot their shot. That's fair. Yes, I wanted the Hornets with my last pick. Nice selection.
Starting point is 00:55:54 Now we have a problem. Now you could get some nuggets. Hey, look, money wins wars, right? Pistons. Take the gold nuggets and then... Is there anything you can combine with thunder that might make thunder valuable? Yes. Lightning.
Starting point is 00:56:11 Magic. Oh, dang it. But you took it. Yeah. All right. So at this point, I'm just seeing how big a gap I can lose by. You could throw some spurs out there on the field for people to step on. Well, I don't want the Warriors to also have spurs,
Starting point is 00:56:28 so maybe this is like a keep away game. Yeah, go for it. Man. Why are the Celtics called the Celtics? And why are they not the Celtics? Yeah, because isn't what they are the Celtics? Isn't that what the Celtics are? They definitely use a shamrock. Aren't they named are the Celtics? Isn't that what the Celtics are? They definitely use a shamrock.
Starting point is 00:56:47 Aren't they named after the Celtics? I thought so. And it's spelled like the Celtics? It sounds like whoever owned the team at one time didn't know it was pronounced Celtics. And he said, oh, we're the team Celtics. And then everyone around is like, oh, okay. Just go with it, man. Don't do anything.
Starting point is 00:57:04 All right. So in this case, I am going to have to select a team and i'm between two and i'm gonna do a quick uh look of what one of them is the name has a great basketball tradition from the old original celtics in new york and and Boston is full of Irishmen. Yeah, it's also known as Celtics. Celtics. Yeah, that's what they say. All right.
Starting point is 00:57:30 I am going to take the Bobcats because a nice warrior. Oh, gosh. You sound so defeated. Well, I've lost. You just took a tiny kitty cat. Do you know how big a Bobcat is? Pretty small. I mean, they could do some work, but literally one-on-one, a person can defeat a bobcat.
Starting point is 00:57:53 19 pounds. The bobcats? Wait. I don't think they're still a team. Oh, they are not. Yes! That's right! So I'm back on the clock!
Starting point is 00:58:02 Yeah, you're lucky. That's right. You didn't draft a 19-pound cat. For the record, I am drafting based on a list Andy gave me. So thanks for that. Wow, good call, Brooks. The judge just getting it done over there. In that case, I'm going to go with hopefully a larger animal.
Starting point is 00:58:20 I have no idea how big. That's right. The hornets are the pelicans. New Orleans became the pelicans and the hornets went back to Charlotte. Yes. There we go. You can draft a pelican is what I'm saying. The pelicans are mean. I did not know that
Starting point is 00:58:36 bobcats are that small. I thought I was drafting like a jaguar. You weren't. I was not. How big are timber wolves? They're a standard wolf.'s what i wanted they're a good pick they're great i was laughing at your selection of bobcats because i was then going to take timber wolves so i far superior animal in a fight i googled timber wolves because i wanted to see them but only thing that came up was the NBA team. I went to images, and it's just the NBA team. Kevin Garnett is humongous.
Starting point is 00:59:05 So I will take Timberwolves. Yeah. I think that's a great. Thank you. So your final team is the Grizzlies, some scary thunder, as Brooks wrote it in, Hornets, and Timberwolves. You actually don't have a bad draft. And the thunder itself, you know. I'm hoping that on the polls, people are stupid as well as I am.
Starting point is 00:59:30 And they go, ooh, how are you going to defeat Thunder? Yeah, there you go. Because in fairness, actually, this is a great pick. No, think about this. This is Last Man Standing, right? Thunder can never die? How are you defeating Thunder? What are you going to do?
Starting point is 00:59:47 Nothing. I win. Eternity. The way I picture it is you have a finite amount of Thunder cracks. Well, no. So you're just not going to use them? Yeah. I'm just going to be there forever. So he drafted clouds. That's right. Kill me. Can't do it.
Starting point is 01:00:03 Maybe the sun will. Well, draft it. Yeah, Mike. Draft it clouds. That's right. Kill me. Can't do it. Maybe the sun will. Oh, well, draft it. Yeah, Mike. Draft it. Counter it. All right. I'm upset. I was hoping I would get the Timberwolves to complete my animals and rockets team.
Starting point is 01:00:16 Yeah, we're running out of the decisive. Yes. Yes. And I did. I looked up, in fact, what is a clipper and those are like named basically after boats ah so i thought it was not a dude running through with nail clippers how do boats work that was your hope i was really hoping if it was a dude with nail clippers i would have drafted it uh yeah coliseum doesn't have water in case you guys are curious. I've been there. Yes, you have.
Starting point is 01:00:45 All right, I'm going to get an aerial attack. I'll take the Hawks. Well, that sucks. Yeah, they were pretty much the last. Because the Hawks were kind of the last one I wanted, so I will, in fact, either have to draft. It's between the Phoenix Suns so that I can assuage any of this thunder lasts forever thought, Or the Miami heat, if I want to stay warm.
Starting point is 01:01:07 Or what was going to be my last pick. I'm just going with it. I'm taking the Brooklyn Nets. Wow. So you're taking the Nets for the Warriors. I am throwing. Yeah, the Warriors now have magic and Nets. Now, wait, are these Nets alive?
Starting point is 01:01:21 They are Nets that you toss out onto creatures. It's got ropes. Look how many animals. But these nets alive? They are nets that you toss out onto creatures. It's got ropes. Look how many animals. But are they alive? No, they're not alive. No. You ever seen an alive net? No, I have not, but I've also never seen a battle royale with magic.
Starting point is 01:01:38 Look, it is not a matter of everything being alive. It's a matter of winning, and I think I can win by throwing a net over a grizzly. Probably not the hornets. Timberwolves, raptors, hawks. Throw it on thunder. Good luck. This is going to all be done. I'm taking the net.
Starting point is 01:01:55 I thought you would have taken the kings because you've got this human army. And I feel like if you got warriors and wizards and kings, now all of a sudden I see not five guys out there fighting, but I see an army. As far as I'm concerned, the only way I'm losing with wizards on this team is if some sort of animal gets through the warriors
Starting point is 01:02:18 and gets through the nets that I've thrown out there and is able to eat these wizards before they can cast a long incantation. I hope they have good spells of protection. Well, the first pick in the draft. They must. Honestly, when I was laughing talking about what pick should be number one,
Starting point is 01:02:38 I legit think that the Suns should be the number one pick. How do you not win a fight? You just gotta wait a couple billion years. That Sun's going to burn out any minute. You don't even have to. You're the Sun. When I pictured the Suns,
Starting point is 01:02:55 you can't be harmed. I figured, you know, you look at the basketball logo. These are like, they're almost like meteors coming down onto the battlefield. Even better. Yeah, that's why I thought they'd be good,
Starting point is 01:03:04 but I was afraid I'd get stuck in outer space waiting for a supernova. Yeah, I feel like in the polls it would not perform, but in my head it's number one. All right. Mike, raptors, rockets, bulls and hawks, Jason, grizzlies, thunder, hornets, timberwolves. I have the wizards, warriors, magic, and nets. What did we learn today? I feel like I know what Jason learned.
Starting point is 01:03:24 I learned the allergy tests are the thing of yesteryear. They do seem a little antiquated. I did learn that. I also learned that you had a confusion issue with thunder and lightning. I'm sure that happens a lot. I mean, I know the difference. I knew the difference. You would have an intimidation factor without question.
Starting point is 01:03:44 Like on the pre-battle warm-up show, you would hear a lot of boom. You'd be scared out there. But you also can't defeat me. It's the best pick. All right, Mike, did you learn anything special today? I learned that apparently a lot of people are not into reclining seats. They think it's rude despite the fact that there is a button for me to recline. And that Brooks can hold down a scat if he needs to.
Starting point is 01:04:10 Oh, yes, he can. Oh, that's right. Giggity, giggity, giggity goo. Thank you for tuning in to the podcast. Check out spitballerspod.com to help support the show. We'll be back next week. Goodbye. Thanks for listening to the
